Helen Lepp
October 29, 1931 – October 26, 2024
Helen (Tieszen) Lepp was born October 29, 1931, and passed away peacefully October 26, 2024, into the loving arms of Jesus, 3 days short of her 93rd birthday.
Helen is survived by her husband Milton of 68 years, son Elden, daughter Doreen (Murray) Neufeld, grandchildren Brooke and Adam Neufeld. Brother Harold (Miriam) Tieszen, brother-in-law Lloyd Harder and many nieces and nephews.
Helen was predeceased by her parents Abraham & Agnes (Heide) Tieszen, her brother John (Nettie) Tieszen, sisters Luella (Peter) Lepp, Frieda Harder, her twin sister Hilda (Albert) Kornelson.
Helen’s mom didn’t know she was having twins, so Helen’s arrival 20 minutes later was a surprise blessing. She grew up with 3 sisters and 2 brothers. Mom was the feisty and mischievous one. This characteristic continued throughout her life. Mom accepted Jesus at a young age. She attended Bethany Bible Institute for 1 year. She loved playing piano and singing in the church choir. Mom and Dad met at choir practice and were married a year later on June 1, 1956. A few years later after the children were born, they moved to the farm and mom became a farmer’s wife and homemaker. Mom loved a neat and tidy house, and she loved to cook and bake and entertain.
In Mom’s younger years she enjoyed knitting and crocheting. In her later years Mom’s hobby was jigsaw puzzles and has done about 40 puzzles with many framed and hanging in various homes. Mom loved being a grandma. She loved to sit on the floor and play with her grandkids. Snack time was always a highlight. The pantry and freezer were always stocked with treats for the grandchildren.
Mom endured dementia for 10 years. She spent the last 8 years in care homes. We want to thank the staff at Diamond House and Dalmeny Spruce Manor staff for their wonderful care and love for our wife, mother, and grandmother.
Mom will be missed!
